I know that when I started on MFP, seeing progress pics and before & afters really kept me motivated. I took a few pictures for my 33rd birthday and compared them to pictures from my 32nd birthday. It has been 8 months (but actually 6 months because I took a 2 month break due to a family emergency) and I have lost 39.4 lbs! My actual birthday is Wednesday and I hope to get the 0.6 lbs gone by then. If not, I know it will happen next week and that is close enough for me 
Here is me on my 32nd birthday in April 2010:
Here is me on my pre 33rd birthday in April 2011. I am down -39.6 lbs and 4 dress sizes!!
Here is the dress I really wore...finally a single digit dress!
I want to thank all my MFP friends because without you and your support, I could not have done this!

Here is a pic from my actual birthday...since the dress is pink, you can see more of a difference. This is size 8 in H&M!!! I would have never worn a dress like this in the past.
